PLAGIARISM – DON’T DO IT!!!

Plagiarism: What is it? List as many examples of plagiarism as you can think of.

Plagiarism…what is it? Based on the examples you brainstormed, what is your definition of plagiarism? Here’s Webster’s definition Plagiarism Plagiarism

Plagiarism can also be defined as… to steal and pass off (the ideas or words of another) as one's own to use (another's production) without crediting the source to commit literary theft to present as new and original an idea or product derived from an existing source In other words, plagiarism is an act of fraud. It involves both stealing someone else's work and lying about it afterwar d

Why is plagiarism wrong? * If you plagiarize, you are cheating yourself. You don't learn to write out your thoughts in your own words, and you don't get specific feedback geared to your individual needs and skills. Plagiarism is dishonest because it misrepresents the work of another as your own. *Unintentional plagiarism is still cheating.

Is it really such a big problem? According to the website Plagiarism.orgPlagiarism.org “Recent studies indicate that approximately 30 percent of all students may be plagiarizing on every written assignment they complete.” One out of three high school students admitted that they used the Internet to plagiarize an assignment

Catching the plagiarist The internet has made plagiarism easier with access to term paper mills, search engines, encyclopedias, etc. In response, websites have been developed which help teachers analyze papers and develop strategies to prevent plagiarism. Some sites are: We use safe assign

ALL OF THE FOLLOWING ARE CONSIDERED PLAGIARISM turning in someone else's work as your own copying words or ideas from someone else without giving credit failing to put a quotation in quotation marks giving incorrect information about the source of a quotation changing words but copying the sentence structure of a source without giving credit copying so many words or ideas from a source that it makes up the majority of your work, whether you give credit or not

Guidelines for avoiding plagiarism Use your own words and ideas. Give credit for copied, adapted, or paraphrased material. Avoid using others' work with minor "cosmetic" changes. There are no "freebies." Beware of "common knowledge."

Guidelines for avoiding plagiarism Use your own words and ideas. This is a skill that improves with practice. It requires an under- standing of the topic It requires that you give yourself credit for your own abilities.

Guidelines for avoiding plagiarism Give credit for copied, adapted, or paraphrased material. If you repeat another's exact words, you MUST use quotation marks and cite the source. If you adapt a chart or paraphrase a sentence, you must still cite. Paraphrase means that you restate the author's ideas, meaning, and information in your own words WHEN IN DOUBT, CITE.

Guidelines for avoiding plagiarism Avoid using others' work with minor "cosmetic" changes. Examples: using "less" for "fewer," reversing the order of a sentence, changing terms in a computer code, or altering a spread sheet layout. If the work is essentially the same, give credit. WHEN IN DOUBT, CITE.

Guidelines for avoiding plagiarism There are no "freebies." ALWAYS cite words, information, and ideas you use if they are new to you (learned in your research). No matter where you find it – even in an encyclopedia or on the Internet – you cite it. WHEN IN DOUBT, CITE.

Guidelines for avoiding plagiarism Beware of "common knowledge." You don't have to cite "common knowledge, “ BUT the fact must really be commonly known. That George Washington was the first U.S. president is common knowledge; That George Washington was an expert dancer is not common knowledge WHEN IN DOUBT, CITE.

In conclusion, don’t get paranoid But when you present a work for a grade: It must be entirely your own work, written by you in your own words, and containing your own interpretations, ideas, approaches etc. It must state clearly where you got other people's words or major ideas. It must state clearly where you got your charts, diagrams, photos, graphics, and media (including sound, video and digital images.

Plagiarism Trying to claim the credit for something that is not your work. PLAGIARISM – DON’T DO IT!!!
